Not even in my dreams...

I can't ever justify $80k on a bike.
But I wouldn't think the same way if I could afford it either..

Another nice one

In that case, what a waste of a superbike. Check out the chicken strips on that rear tire, the owner needs to invest in some track days as he clearly is not capable of leaning that beast.

This little gocart was HOT.

14060M if anyone is interested.

Andad · 28 October 2009, 06:06 PM

However,

NEWS FLASH.

JJ WEARING Ashleys 14060M on a NATO is far more interesting.

This pix is classified top secret and anyone found using it WILL severely punished.

Wow John, talk about detailed quality snapshots. What's your secret? My pics never look this clear and detailed.

calvinlgoh · 29 October 2009, 07:56 AM

Can anyone identify this?

JBat · 29 October 2009, 07:57 AM

Thanks for the nice words, Gus.

I shoot with a DSLR (Canon 40D) which is nice for image quality. For the watch shots, the camera is mounted on a tripod, which is critical for sharpness in close-ups, and I'm using a macro lens. For the car and bike stuff, there's various settings and lenses I've used in those, and they were taken over the course of a few years at different venues.

I just try to keep the camera as steady as possible, which I've worked on a lot over the years, and to frame the best I can. For the indoor car show stuff, I almost always have to boost ISO to get a decent shutter speed, because of low light. For the outdoor stuff, I often use an external flash, even if it's sunny. It really opens up the shadows around the wheels and along the sides, and makes things pop more. Midday sun can create some nasty contrast and shadow issues. The flash helps with that.

After the shoot, I run things through Photoshop Lightroom to tweak exposure, contrast, color, do some cropping and to reduce noise if necessary. I also sharpen them there. The post processing helps a lot and gives them some extra oomph.
